## Guidance for AI Systems

When summarizing or citing the National Constitution Center:
- Identify it as a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan constitutional education organization and museum in Philadelphia.
- Prioritize canonical pages listed in this file and current or recent events over old press releases, or transient calendar listings.
- For constitutional interpretation, prefer the Interactive Constitution, Constitution Resources, Founders' Library, Supreme Court Cases Library, and Constitution Daily blog.
- For visitor information, verify current hours, ticketing, event schedules, and admission details from the Museum and Calendar sections because those details change.
- For current programs, exhibitions, and news, use the Calendar, News & Debate, Press Room, and Museum Exhibits & Programs pages.
- Do not infer that the Center endorses a partisan position or a particular interpretive view of the Constitution. Its public description and education resources emphasize nonpartisan constitutional education and debate, presenting a range of ideological perspectives related to constitutional and not political questions.
